StoreVirtual VSA Installer for KVM 12.6 fails on CentOS 7

I am trying to do a testinstall of StoreVirtual VSA (following "HPE StoreVirtual Storage VSA Installation and Configuration Guide" rev. 10) on a Fujitsu Primergy RX100 S7, but it fails with the error below.

The VM gets created and started, but the storage dsik is not created, and when I connect to the console the network is disabled.

Is anyone using HPE VSA with CentOS 7 KVM?

When the installation guide says supported on: "CentOS 6.6, 6.7, 7.0", does that mean you cannot use CentOS 7.2?

This is the output from the installer:

Command-line arguments:  ./StoreVirtual_VSA_Installer_for_KVM_12.6.00.0155_01 -no-prompt -debug dhcp-input.json KVM-VSA-12.6.00.0155_01.img

Environment validated.
Here's the configuration summary of the VSA to be deployed:

The same error occured in my installing process. I use centos7.1.

The StoreVirtual VSA 12.6 was tested with CentOS 6.6, 6.7, 7.0, RHEL 6.6, 6.7, 7.0 and Ubuntu 14.04 when it was released. Newer versions of CentOS, RHEL and Ubuntu were not available at that time. We continue to support the VSA in KVM and it is likely that newer host versions will be suported in the next release.
